Gold Mine Problem


http://www.ideserve.co.in/learn/gold-mine-problem
Given a gold mine of n*m dimension. Each field in this mine contains an integer which is amount of gold in tons. Initially miner is in first column but could be at any row i. He can move only (right ->, right up /, right down \). Find out maximum amount of gold he can collect and path followed by him.

Create a 2-D matrix goldTable[][]) of the same as given matrix mat[][]. If we observe the question closely, we can notice following.
  1. Amount of gold is positive, so we would like to cover maximum cells of maximum values under given constraints.
  2. In every move, we move one step toward right side. So we always end up in last column. If we are at the last column, then we are unable to move right


If we are at the first row or last column, then we are unable to move right-up so just assign 0 otherwise assign the value of goldTable[row-1][col+1] to right_up. If we are at the last row or last column, then we are unable to move right down so just assign 0 otherwise assign the value of goldTable[row+1][col+1] to right up.
Now find the maximum of right, right_up, and right_down and then add it with that mat[row][col]. At last, find the maximum of all rows and first column and return it.
int getMaxGold(int gold[][MAX], int m, int n)
{
    // Create a table for storing intermediate results
    // and initialize all cells to 0. The first row of
    // goldMineTable gives the maximum gold that the miner
    // can collect when starts that row
    int goldTable[m][n];
    memset(goldTable, 0, sizeof(goldTable));
 
    for (int col=n-1; col>=0; col--)
    {
        for (int row=0; row<m; row++)
        {
            // Gold collected on going to the cell on the right(->)
            int right = (col==n-1)? 0: goldTable[row][col+1];
 
            // Gold collected on going to the cell to right up (/)
            int right_up = (row==0 || col==n-1)? 0:
                            goldTable[row-1][col+1];
 
            // Gold collected on going to the cell to right down (\)
            int right_down = (row==m-1 || col==n-1)? 0:
                             goldTable[row+1][col+1];
 
            // Max gold collected from taking either of the
            // above 3 paths
            goldTable[row][col] = gold[row][col] +
                              max(right, max(right_up, right_down));
                                                    ;
        }
    }
 
    // The max amount of gold collected will be the max
    // value in first column of all rows
    int res = goldTable[0][0];
    for (int i=1; i<m; i++)
        res = max(res, goldTable[i][0]);
    return res;
